6. Rest centre information

Responsibility for the Management and running of rest centres in Devon is split between Devon County Council and East Devon District Council. Although East Devon staff will not be responsible for running a large rest centre the housing team will be asked to attend the rest centre to arrange for temporary housing for those residents who have no alternative civil contingencies officer accommodation.

Given that an incident could happen at any location across the East Devon District if there is a need for a rest centre a suitable location will be sourced in discussion with Devon County Council.
